After the Game Page #3

Think of it as a great vacation.

Except you don't go to it,

it comes to you.

What... What kind of vacation?

It's different every time.

Humor me with specifics.

We provide

whatever's lacking.

And what if nothing

is lacking?

May I make two suggestions?

You really think that I'll

participate without knowing any...

First, admit to yourself

that it sounds intriguing.

Second, you don't have

to decide today.

Take the silly test,

fill out the stupid forms.

One day, your game begins. You either

love it or hate it. Decide then.

You know we...

We are like

an experiential

book-of-the-month club.

You can drop out at any time

with no further obligation.

That was my sales pitch.

How long will this take?

About an hour for those,

another hour for the physical.

Physical?

It's a cursory examination,

turn-your-head, cough sort of thing.

You'll be out of here in no time.

Confused.

Risky.

Bloody.

Whoops.

Mr. Sutherland called

about Baer-Grant Publishing.

Cancel it.

Push it back till Wednesday.

And Anson Baer called

about tomorrow. Tomorrow?

Yes, that's correct. How much

longer is this going to take?

Shouldn't be long.

We're almost done.

You said that two hours ago.

All right. Put it back

until tomorrow.

Does this thing end?

I'm sorry

to keep you waiting.

Oh, don't worry. It's been just

terrific spending my entire day

with your crack team.

Well, it's all

down to this.

This is an insurance company

requirement. It states that you're aware

that the game exists, that you're

a willing participant in said game,

so on and so forth. Our

guarantee, payment's entirely

at your brother's discretion as a gift.

It's dependent on your satisfaction.

Does that mean that if I'm not

happy he doesn't have to pay?

That's never happened. We've

never had an unsatisfied customer.

I think you mean,

dissatisfied.

That's right. You're a

left-brained word fetishist.

Initials, initials,

and sign there

in blood.

Just kidding.

All right. Now, your copy will be

at the front desk in this folder.

And I'll... Keep the pen.

We'll let you know.

What about

Monday or Tuesday?

No,

that's bad for me.

Well,

how about tonight?

Well, I'm working

all this evening.

Wednesday is the only

possibility right now.

Do you wanna do dinner?

Okay.

By the way,

I went to CRS.

Really?

What did you think?

little bit disorganized.

Well, when I did it in London
